Kyoto Palace Karaoke

So, my birthday was on Saturday, but since my sister and I both work weekends, we all decided to go out for my birthday dinner the night before Thanksgiving (yesterday, as it turns out). Well, my sister's a vegetarian, my dad is pretty much against all cheese, my mom hates sushi and teriyaki (the rest of us love sushi) and I don't like most vegetables, so it's pretty hard to find someplace all four of us can agree on for food, which generally leaves Kyoto Palace as our usual place for dinners out. It's a hibachi grill, by the way. Anyway, last night was Wednesday, and apparently, they do karaoke there from 7-11. So, my sister and I both like to sing and we're good, too. So, during dinner, we decided we were totally gonna do karaoke after dinner. Anyway, we conned Mom & Dad into staying after dinner so we could do karaoke. Okay, so Mom went done to the car cuz she had a migraine. Anyway, so my sister and I signed up for our songs and waited and listened to everybody. Also, we were clearly the only sober people there. After probably 30 minutes or so, my sister was up. She sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. She did a great job, but unfortunately, it was a little hard to hear her. =( Oh well. Anyway, I was up after her and sang Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves. I thought I was terrible, but my sister said I did great. So, yay! =) Karaoke rules!!

Directing

I've decided something. I'm so never directing a scene with either of the two girls I just directed. One of them blew me off a few times and totally didn't seem to care. The other got all pissed at me because the first one wouldn't show up, like it was my fault. For the love of all that is holy, I cannot control the actions of other people! Not to mention, they argued with everything I said. Dude! I'm your director! I get the last say! Just because you think one of your lines is supposed to be a lie doesn't necessarily mean it is...and when I tell you I want you to play it like it's true, you do it! Gah!
